What a day so far. Wow. I was able to implement so much stuff, it’s inhuman. I need to go home now, tonight I play drums with my band (like every Wednesday). Cannot wait!

Here is the help file viewer that will be part of PPL 2.0. The help content is entirely generated by the PIDE in pure HTML format. It will generate all the links (properties, events, methods, see also links) automatically.

Here is the XML data for the PResource component. You can design this component directly from the PPL integrated development environment, no need to know anything about XML.

<class>
<name>PResource</name>
<inherit>PObject</inherit>
<icon>data.bmp</icon>
<category>File</category>
<childof>Root</childof>
<defaultproperty>RawData</defaultproperty>
<autocreate>true</autocreate>
<tags>resource</tags>
<description>Allow you to store file’s data of any kind right into your project. Make sure the size of the data is not too large, your project loading time will suffer greatly.</description>
<seealso>RawData</seealso>
<properties>
<Section>Content</Section>
<RawData>
<type>resource</type>
<tags>data resource</tags>
<description>This property contains all the data of the resource.</description>
</RawData>
</properties>
</class>

Of course the description is only there for testing purposes for now. But you can see that just providing a name in the <seealso> tag will generate the right help page.

Later this week I will be working on the TAG search feature. I will re-use the code completion form for consistency.
